I think I might start videoing my press so you can see what it should look like :wink:

Iā€™m sure it would be instructive. My technique is best described as ā€˜altar boy fighting off catholic priestā€™.

Ugh. Off day yesterday. A bit over-tired and underfed. Bad combination for squats. Did the work (and bumped up the backoff sets a tiny bit to punish myself). Everything felt terrible. Might be time for my Man-struation.

    • 75 kg x 5 reps
    • 90 kg x 5 reps

    • 140 kg x 1 reps

I watched a form video on these the other dayā€¦ now all I need to know is how many you can do

More than you, fatty. Plus, mine are pristine, obviously, you probably just saw a form video from a meathead.

So youā€™re saying 2 is all you got? Am I reading this right :joy:

I think youā€™ve posted a video doing them before. Iā€™ll have to see how strict these puppies are before I give you an estimated time of heart brokenness when I double you PR

Well my PR is 9. So now you absolutely have to do 18.

I can pretty much do it from a dead hang, so good luck.

:grimacing: chuckles in fear :grimacing:

I was just kidding about doubling your PR anyways. Iā€™m gonna say I can do 10 before 2021 is over.

No swinging or bringing legs up!? I tried those yesterday and alllllmost got high enough to cross over. After watching the form video apparently itā€™s common to swing a little and drive your legs into your chest quickly for momentum

Yeah, that is a good way to start, but if you really want to show off you do them with a dead hang and straight legs. The subsequent reps will obviously get a reflex and a little swing involved.

So you have never done one? Ten is a tall, tall order. They are basically a power movement, and you just run out of juice after a few.

Yea never done one. Just randomly thought Iā€™d try a couple yesterday. I got close. If I use the cheater form I think I could do one now.

I run out of steam quick so maybe I wonā€™t hit 10 lol
Iā€™ll still try though. I shall film and post my victory muscle ups here when they are complete.

Might as well try. Donā€™t be surprised if I taunt you with a video or two sooner or later.

I could actually use one so I can have a standard in which to beat. Iā€™m not about that over achieving lifeā€¦ just enough to beat you is all Iā€™m after :joy:

Now I know why yesterday was so shittyā€¦today I am sick as poop. Hopefully not covid, but bad enough that I ainā€™t training today.

Since weā€™re on the topic of internet challenges with old Danish dudes: New yearā€™s eve is coming up. Be ready for round two of handstand push ups, dude!

The plan of attack is continuing to not practice whatsoever and go in with an even bigger hangover.

You guys should all feel bad about yourself for challenging a frail old man to all sorts of challenges.

And then feel worse when you lose.

Itā€™s basically just a mini forced deload I guess.
